Always remember that a Chromebook is ment to be a connected device. I use mine all the time. But while it can replace my desktop 70%-80% of the time, there are times as a Linux professional where I need a laptop. So, I still have my Arch laptop (for software development because it has better tools than online and a bigger screen). So I try to only store locally what I MUST. Passwords are stored via LastPass so they move between Chromebook and Desktop. Files are stored on Google Drive or Dropbox for the same reason.
There is a local download on your Chromebook, but I would really try not to use that for anything that is not ephemeral. It is how the device was designed to be used.
